Brilliant, deceptively-simple comedy from SCTV and the late, great Joe Flaherty. #BuyCanadian

Got to see Coyote vs ACME yesterday and it was fantastic. Here's my Etch-a-Sketch tribute!

SMILE SWEETLY AS YOU BLEED OUT is now the working title of my next crime novel
Matt Zoller Seitz@mattzollerseitz.bsky.social · 2d agoMerritt Wever "captures the enthusiastic insincerity and camouflaged heartlessness common on the production side of TV news. So does Jessica Hecht as a rival producer. Both epitomize California Nice, a type of person who only appears empathetic and genuine, and will smile sweetly as you bleed out."
I imagined that many companies would offer products for Star Trek's sixtieth anniversary. I just never imagined a Williams Sonoma Communi-grater. www.williams-sonoma.com/products/sta...

one thing that drove the Apple-led tech boom of the aughts was a sense of wonder: even for non-techies, once you interacted with, say, an iPod you totally got why you might want it AI is arguably more impressive as tech yet it still leaves people cold, unable to make the case for its own necessity
John Warner@biblioracle.bsky.social · 2d agoThinking about what I see as a contradiction lately. I think it's pretty clear that AI has advanced quite a lot in terms of its capabilities and reliability since the arrival of Chat GPT, and yet, despite this, I, personally, still have very little use for it. If Google search hadn't shit the bed...
so remember that crap-looking trailer for the AI generated The Odyssey that we talked about for like five minutes a month ago, did that full movie ever come out or also did elon ever bankroll that fully Grok-generated version of The Odyssey he promised or meanwhile variety.com/2026/film/bo...

The Thermals at Studio B in Williamsburg. Floor so sticky the lead singer had to issue a warning to the crowd about hurting themselves while moshing, and concert so loud my ears are still ringing. 10/10 no notes

very obvious why Canadians feel this way now but Americans still need to internalize how bad the PR damage of the last 2 years has been and how hard it is going to be to rebuild trust

Seriously cannot recommend “Furious” enough if you’re not already watching, it’s like if this was a crime thriller

good morning to everyone but especially to the guy rolling through Brooklyn in a BMW with the windows rolled down blaring the theme from the original 1978 “Superman” with Christopher Reeve
OKAY I admit I thought the universal praise for COYOTE VS ACME might be slightly inflated by the goodwill around its backstory but I have seen it and it’s as good as advertised Samy Burch is a fascinating multifaceted screenwriter
rarely photographed together, it's true

torn between my genuine desire to learn more about who in sane times actually has authority to rename bodies of water that border different countries (or national parks or cities or other geographic locations) and my equal competing desire to spend absolutely no time thinking about it at all
Arte Moreno bought the Angels in 2003 (the year after they won the Series) for $184 million. He then spent 23 years running them into the ground, let the stadium decay, wasted Trout and Ohtani, and sold for $4 billion. And the owners are crying poverty and threatening to kill baseball next year.
